Bona fide non-appearance justified restoration of appeals after dismissal for non-prosecution.

The Tribunal accepted a bona fide explanation for non-appearance on the hearing date, supported by counsel's affidavit, and treated the absence as neither intentional nor deliberate. On that basis, it found that refusing restoration would unfairly prejudice the applicants despite no fault on their part. The dismissal order for non-prosecution was recalled and the appeals were restored to their original number.
